The Biden government secret migrant flights continue to play an outsized role in New York City‘s ongoing illegal immigration-fueled fiscal and public safety crisis. While Mayor Eric Adams (D) continues to try and lay the blame squarely with Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R) — whose state has bussed 37,000 illegal immigrants to the sanctuary city — he’s conveniently ignored the 33,000 who’ve arrived via the Department of Homeland Security flight program. All in all, the busses sent by Abbott account for about 25 percent of NYC’s illegal immigrant population, while the Biden government’s flight program accounts for about 22 percent.
According to the Center for Immigration Studies, the secret Biden government immigrant flight program allows for so-called asylum seekers to take direct flights from certain countries into the United States, with final destinations including New York City. Despite clear evidence suggesting President Biden’s lack of border enforcement contributes significantly to New York’s crisis, Mayor Adams continues to scapegoat Governor Abbott — rather than confronting the potential impact of the Biden government’s immigration policies.
Adams has claimed the ongoing crisis could ‘destroy’ the city. In February of this year, the New York Democrat declared that the city was “out of room.” The National Pulse previously reported that drone footage has revealed a massive tent city in Brooklyn constructed by New York City officials to house over 2,000 illegal immigrants.
Since the implementation of the Advanced Travel Authorization Program in January 2023, the DHS has reportedly approved the arrival of over 386,000 immigrants directly from foreign airports. This program, designed primarily for Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, and Venezuelan immigrants, has been expanded to include five other nationalities. A separate Biden government program has seen an estimated 420,000 immigrants arrive from over 100 countries at eight U.S. ports of entry over the past year.
